Chapter 306 I am indeed a loser
Sang Zhixia finally slept soundly and opened her eyes from her dream, and the first thing she saw was Xu Yu's quiet profile.
He was neither as gentle and graceful as when he was awake with a smile, nor as cold and icy as when he was angry. His sleeping face was peaceful with steady breathing, free from all the emotions he had shown in front of others, and he was unusually gentle and harmless.
His breathing was steady and quiet, and he was still sleeping soundly.
Sang Zhixia lifted her eyelids and looked at the obvious dark circles under Xu Yu's eyes. The softest part of her heart felt like it was being gently touched by a feather, bringing out an indescribable itch from deep within her bones.
Sang Zhixia vaguely remembered that Xu Yu was dragged to bed because he talked too much, but she couldn't remember when this person came.
I turned my head and saw that the light from outside the window was obviously setting in the west. I knew it was getting late.
She was so busy in the city that she didn't have time to eat properly. Xu Yu rushed over from Mo Ding Mountain after hearing the news and certainly didn't have time to eat either.
It’s already this late, I can’t go back to sleep.
Sang Zhixia raised her hand to call Xu Yu to get up, but as soon as her hand landed on Xu Yu's chest, it was grabbed by a big hand.
Xu Yu was very sleepy and hadn't opened his eyes yet. He put the hand he was holding to his mouth and kissed it.
He stretched out his long arms and wrapped Sang Zhixia, who was staring at him from the side, in his arms. He subconsciously patted Sang Zhixia's back and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhizhi."
Sang Zhixia curled her eyes, rubbed her forehead against Xu Yu's warm chest, and said vaguely, "It's very late, why don't you get up first?"
Her intuition told her that if she continued to sleep, Aunt Xu would probably get angry and start nagging at her.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Second Aunt Xu seems to be easy to talk to now, that’s just an appearance.
If we really talk about the ability to deal with people who are annoying, Aunt Xu is the best.
Xu Yu didn't know what he was thinking of. He closed his eyes, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on the center of Sang Zhixia's hair. He said lazily, "Fortunately, I'm older."
Sang Zhixia blinked in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, if I were ten years younger, I'd probably get pulled on the ears by Second Auntie when I go out."
Xu Yu didn't want to sleep at first, but he came in and called Sang Zhixia to get up very seriously.
However good his thoughts were, when he heard Sang Zhixia's soft whispers while she was in deep sleep, even the strongest bones of Xu Yu were ground into powder by the spring breeze behind the tent.
My mind is in a fuss. I just wish I could hold this talking baby in my arms and never wake up again. How can I remember anything important?
Xu Yu sighed amid Sang Zhixia's suppressed laughter and said leisurely, "Second Aunt still thinks too highly of me. I am indeed a loser."
"I'm really amazing for such a promising future."
Sang Zhixia already found it funny, and after hearing Xu Yu's endless nonsense, she laughed so hard that she couldn't stop shaking.
Xu Yu lowered his head and teased her, "Zhizhi, if Second Aunt starts nagging about it later, you can't just stand by and watch."
"I owe this daydream of mine to you. If you don't care about me, will I still be able to keep my ears?"
Sang Zhixia narrowed her eyes narrowly and put out her hand to block Xu Yu's approaching head: "It was obviously you who couldn't resist the temptation, what does it have to do with me?"
"Resist temptation?"
Xu Yu leaned forward with a little force, opened his mouth and nibbled at the corner of Sang Zhixia's upturned mouth, and said with a smile: "My dear, don't you see how great the temptation is that I have to resist."
"You think too highly of me. Is this something I can resist?"
Seeing his innocent look, Sang Zhixia couldn't bear it anymore. She pounded the bed with one hand, buried her face in the quilt and laughed out loud.
Xu Yu tutted and picked the man up, teasing, "Alright, I know you're not going to protect my ears."
"Who knows if I can save myself? Don't cover your mouth and laugh until you choke on your breath, or I'll be guilty of another crime. Did Second Aunt send you to harm my ears?"
"Have you become stupid from practicing tea ceremony?"
Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing and looked up at him: "Why would I hurt your ears for no reason?"
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows: "What if?"
"I think you are up to no good by not being able to afford it."
Xu Yu picked up Sang Zhixia, whose smile had softened, from the quilt. After she sat up straight and made sure she wouldn't fall again, he rolled sideways and got out of bed.
Sang Zhixia stepped on the soft-soled cloth shoes that Xu Yu brought and looked at Xu Yu who was combing his hair with a subtle expression: "Is this headband still useful?"
Xu Yu quickly tied up his long, untidy hair and secured the headband, which looked unattractive unless one looked closely. He said confidently, "Didn't you make this for me?"
Sang Zhixia's eyes slid across the headband, and she stood up with her shoes on and said, "The two I made before weren't very good. I'll make you a few nice ones when I have some free time."
Xu Yu took the coat and put it on her, then smiled and said, "Okay."
"You sit and take a nap. I'll go get something to eat."
Xu Yu was about to leave, but Sang Zhixia grabbed his wrist, gently hooked her index finger around his palm, and jokingly said, "Bring it inside to eat."
"Lest you say I'm plotting against your dog ears."
Xu Yu pushed the door open and went out, suppressing his laughter. The food that had been prepared outside for the whole day finally had the chance to be served on the table.
Aunt Xu was really worried about the young couple who were busy catching up on sleep and not eating.
Mrs. Su, who was guarding the stove, said, "I originally prepared a side dish, but the shopkeeper said it lost its flavor after being heated several times, so he specially asked me to stew a chicken."
"This chicken has been simmered for three hours with chestnuts and matsutake mushrooms. It's cooked to perfection and has great flavor. It's perfect to serve it now."
Xu Yu didn't bother anyone and picked up the tray himself. He asked, "Where's my Second Aunt? Has she eaten?"
"It's amazing that you still remember me."
Second Aunt Xu came in from the front and saw that Xu Yu had woken up, changed his clothes and behaved like a human being again. She wanted to scold him, but she smiled before she could say anything.
"Alright, alright, I know your wife is protecting you, go and eat your meal."
Xu Yu was calm when being teased, and walked towards the side room with the food without changing his expression.
Seeing this, an older embroiderer from another place couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, your family has such good feng shui! Whether it's a son or a nephew, they're all handsome and talented. Could it be that a perfect person who is both good-looking and thoughtful was born into your family?"
Aunt Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud with satisfaction: "It's a good thing that all the good ones grow in my house!"
"My nephew is thin-skinned, so please don't make fun of him just because you're older."
"Oh, the shopkeeper is joking."
The woman who was speaking tutted her tongue a few times, shook her head, and said, "If your young master had come, it would have been a good opportunity to make some fun, but your nephew doesn't look like much, so we dare not approach him to speak."
Xu Minghui was a good-natured person who smiled whenever he met anyone. His modest and gentle nature never revealed any flaws. Anyone who saw him would just say that he was a good-natured person and would not be afraid of him.
Xu Yu is different.
Although Xu Yu did not like to embarrass others and was gentle to his subordinates, his aura was inexplicably solemn, which made people cautious before he even spoke, and no one dared to approach him and talk to him.
Aunt Xu made a few jokes to get over the matter, and looking at the location of the wing room, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
Isn't it different?
If there had been no disaster, Xu Yu would have been the respected and honored eldest son of the Xu family, holding real power in Kyoto.
The once proud and unruly prince gradually acquired the aura of the old man in his youth, but his feet were stuck in the mud of the northwest and he was no longer noble.
What kind of world is going on?
Aunt Xu couldn't bear to think any more, shook her head and went out.
In the side room, Sang Zhixia held the bowl in both hands and drank the fragrant chicken soup, and squinted her eyes happily because of the sweetness of the chestnuts in the soup.
Xu Yu placed the boneless, stewed chicken thigh in a small bowl in front of Sang Zhixia and said, "Don't just drink the soup. Eat something substantial."
Sang Zhixia opened her mouth to take the meat from his chopsticks and said in the white steam rising from the soup bowl on the small table, "You're back in a hurry. How are things going at Mo Ding Mountain?"
"I haven't had time to ask you yet, is everything going well over there?"
